International Children's Language Camp 2020 in Bansko

The most important thing for the camp

for the camp

The LuckyKids International English Camp is open to all children between the ages of 5 and 14.99, regardless of language proficiency.

Children aged 5 to 6.99 are admitted to the camp only with an escort to make their adaptation easier. All activities in the program are safe and age-appropriate. Children's daily routine is combined with a healthy and balanced diet.

TRAINING

The program of the camp is specially developed by a teaching team on the principle of project training - the children develop projects on topics set for the specific period to improve their English language skills. Project-based learning is a modern innovative approach that has been successfully applied in the educational programs of all schools with foreign language teaching in the last 10 years.

In addition to language, project training provides knowledge in many other areas of the social and natural world. The program of the LuckyKids children's language camp also includes interactive training in the form of various games and activities. All groups, except the beginner, work on computers and use an interactive whiteboard. The children from the beginner group work on different methods, the main goal of which is within the English language course to learn to use the language so that it serves them for life in the children's language camp. The most commonly used methods are: Play and Talk with Echo and Jolly Phonics.

In all groups the emphasis is on the audio-visual perceptions of children, which are part of many modern methods of studying languages and for teaching in the initial educational stage, such as suggestopedia, Solar pedagogy , Montessori , etc. All children learn what the virtues are and are encouraged to follow them in their daily lives. A requirement for every teacher in the camp is to make the educational blocks fun and interesting and to be able to provoke the children to look for new knowledge not only in English. In itself, the work of each teacher has a unique style, but follows a common line set by the coordinator of the educational program. At the end of the period each child from summer language camp LuckyKids receives from the teacher a written report containing detailed information about the results and has in order to help the child for his further learning in English. Living in an English-speaking environment for 7 or 14 days is guaranteed to give results and is a solid basis for mastering the new language and finding new friends. The camp is organized in the aparthotel Lucky Bansko SPA & amp; Relax *****, where children feel at home in full board.

WHY LAKIKIDS SUMMER LANGUAGE CAMP?

You can certainly find cheaper children's camps in Bulgaria, but they cannot guarantee the quality and efficiency of LuckyKids. It is no coincidence that the camp is very popular, and more than 35% of the children come on the recommendation of friends or parents whose children have already been to the hotel. There are many cases in which children are enrolled twice in 1 season for a whole summer vacation (2.5 months), and some of them - for a stay of 3 weeks.

Summer children’s camp for the first time
The sweetest thrill in the world – your child to get excited about something he is doing for the first time, and you to experience the excitement with him. In addition to emotions, each such experience has an organizational side. The honor to perform them falls mainly on the parent, and he can judge how much the child should be involved in the activity depending on his age and character. We at LuckyKids International Camp will recommend how the process goes when the child comes to camp with us. Preliminary contact with the camp team When the child is going to camp for the first time, it is good for the parent to contact us in advance. This conversation is important, both for the parent and for us. Don’t hesitate to ask us for the smallest detail. We will be happy to answer you and ask the questions that excite us. Adaptation Preschool children (5-7 years) adapt in a completely different way than school children. We can give guidelines that the parent should follow in advance so that the child has a smoother and calmer transition. Mental preparation It often happens that children come who have no idea where they end up. To avoid the stress of such a situation, we recommend the parent to acquaint the child in advance with the concept of the camp and the activities there. You can use our site for this purpose. Everything is described in detail there. And there is a large amount of photo material in the gallery to help the child empathize and want to be with us in real time. Emotional preparation The role of the parent on this point is extremely important. We all understand that the mother and father will be more excited than the child and will be very worried. The most important thing is not to transfer these emotions to the new camper. If the child feels the stress and tension in the parent, he will immediately “absorb” them. Then adaptation becomes much more difficult and slower. The parent, in the role of an adult, chooses with what emotion to send his child to camp. It can be: joy trembling anticipation happiness ready for adventure pride that it is already great confidence that he will be able to speak English, etc. All positive emotions, which we recommend parents to convey, regardless of their personal worries. They can share all their worries with us. Luggage preparation A very important joint event – for children and parents. This activity is part of the child’s adaptation. Luggage is part of the home and family – especially for younger children. By emphasizing his preparation and making the child empathetic, the parent gives a wonderful start to an unforgettable vacation. There is a list on the camp site for everyone’s convenience. Take the list and start the preparation at least 2 weeks in advance. If there are things to buy – take the child and go shopping together. The excitement in a positive direction will be great. Arrange the suitcase together, teach the child how to collect his clothes and you will have another positive from this activity. Getting acquainted with the rules in the camp Yes, this is also part of the adaptation process. Because if the child comes to us and only then realizes that he will not use his phone all day, but will only have an hour and a half in the evening with him, he will start your stay in the camp with negative emotion. Each parent has access to the camp rules and signs that he has read it and has introduced the child to it. The aim is for the child to know the rules and to have accepted that he will live by them before he comes with us. During the camp With parents whose children are camping for the first time in their lives, we strive to maintain daily contact. It is important to us how the children perceive the situation. If we see that adaptation is impossible (there are such cases), then we recommend the parent to take the child home. Such cases are rare and yet there is such an option. In most cases, the camp team, together with the parent, strives to agree on all current issues. This synchronicity gives the child security, peace of mind, and for the more naughty – a signal that tricks and tricks cannot be applied. If parents have specific concerns, they can share them with the camp team in advance: waking up at night falling asleep to the light bulb attachments to parent, brother / sister, grandparent anxiety about any of the activities. The camp team is available for everything. Difficult adaptation A child who has never been separated from their parents may encounter difficulties and grief at home in the first days of camp (regardless of age). This usually manifests itself in crying, in the evening when the child is tired. Here again the role of the parent is extremely important. If the parent cries (worries) with the child during the telephone conversation, then the adaptation is doomed to failure. With each child we act individually according to the peculiarities of the character and always after consultation with the parent. The camp team strives to provide the necessary comfort to the child in such moments and to help the process of excretion, which is directly related to growth. The purpose of the camp is to support the growth process, not to discourage the child from future participation in camps (be it in LuckyKids or elsewhere). If adaptation is very difficult, we may need to call a parent or relative of the child to stay with him or her for the duration of the camp. In most cases, this helps the child. Manipulation of the parent by the child There are cases in which the child manipulates his parents in order to get something: material gain promise of a trip sometimes even […]

Winter or summer language camp?
This issue is extremely important. When is the best time for a child to learn a language? Winter or summer? At LuckyKids International Camp we have experience with both periods and we can share it with you. We started the summer language camp in 2012, and in the 2013 and 2014 seasons we held one-week winter camps with English language learning on a similar principle to summer camps. Winter language camp has some advantages. In winter there are no viruses, children usually combine learning with skiing or snowboarding, combining learning with sports, which is very appropriate. The winter language vacation goes well with family vacations – children and parents can be together as a location, and each family member can have their own entertainment. In the course of the winter camp, however, we discovered several negative aspects of this type of camps, which made us think about their existence at all. In winter, the day is shorter, and even during the day, light is scarce. This, combined with the cold weather, provides limited opportunities for outdoor play and activities. The most active time for learning in children is in the morning Unfortunately, this is also the best time for skiing or other outdoor activities. For this reason, it is possible for children to study only in the afternoon. This in turn leads to incomplete study time. Firstly because children are tired after outdoor activities and secondly because in the afternoon it is much harder for children to concentrate. Evenings cannot be very active either, because children get even more tired. The specifics of time and stress lead to a weakening of the immune system of children. It turns out that the intense combination of sports and learning does not work well for children in the winter. The younger ones get sick and tired, and the older ones often lose concentration. The lack of natural light in the study rooms leads to additional fatigue. Everyone would agree that this is not the purpose of a vacation, be it linguistic. Another disadvantage of the winter camp is that it leads to uniformity – there are not many outdoor activities that can be carried out at this time of year (skiing, snowboarding and short walks). Due to this fact, children do the same thing every day. Lack of diversity often leads to apathy and lack of enthusiasm. An alternative is to visit indoor attractions, but this would lead to prolonged stay of the child indoors, which makes meaningless the fact that he came to camp in the mountains. Another disadvantage of the winter camp is that it can be held only in specific periods of time, which limits the choice of the parent. The shorter winter vacation is given for the children to rest from school. In reality, they cannot rest during this period if they study again. Our observations from the two winter camps led to the conclusion that winter vacations should be used mainly for sports. We recommend that children not be actively involved in learning during this period, regardless of the subject. Of course, if the child attends private lessons, they should not be stopped. But a lesson twice a week is incomparable with daily activities within 4 school hours. Summer language camps are far more rewarding for studying all kinds of subjects by different methods than those at school. The summer vacation is long enough and the children have time to both rest and recharge with new knowledge in a pleasant atmosphere. The sun, warm weather and a longer day give children more energy and strength. Charged, they can be active both in the morning and in the afternoon and the differences at this time of year in the concentration at different times of the day are minimal. Although we are often at risk of a viral epidemic (mainly enteroviruses) in the summer, with good hygiene and proper child care (indoors and outdoors), cases can be kept to a minimum. The summer period is favorable in terms of activities – a wide variety of activities can be offered to all children and for a large age range. Outdoor activities can be alternated from those with heavy workloads to very light activities, but children stay outside much longer than during school hours. The sports offered in the spring and summer are also much more. And diversity guarantees that there will be something for everyone: football volleyball basketball Dodgeball badminton horseback riding cycling paintball hiking in the mountains short educational excursions visiting interesting places of cultural value In the spring and summer, the leading role is fun. In this way, children can learn in the process of playing. In the short winter holidays the attitude of the children is completely different and family oriented. While in the summer everyone is set for new adventures. In summer (whether at sea or in the mountains) the camps also offer the opportunity for outdoor training – something that is completely impossible in winter. During these trainings, English classe are combined with activities related to nature flora fauna ecology This further enriches the vocabulary and culture of the children. The new knowledge is not only in different areas, but also in English. Given the long vacation, parents can afford to send their children to camp for a longer period of time and still have plenty of time to rest. It often happens that the children in the camp alternate two-week vacations with two-week visits to the camp for the whole period of the summer vacation. When the children’s stay is 14 days or more, the results of learning and consolidating the language are much better and more visible. And if during the winter months a seven-day stay is enough to tire the child, then during the summer months the stay can be extended to 4-6 weeks without affecting his health and immunity. In conclusion, summer vacation is much more suitable for learning a language or other subject (science, art) than winter vacation. At the Lucky […]

Why Lucky Kids is one of the top children’s camps in Bulgaria?
It may sound immodest, but at LuckyKids summer camp we always strive to provide the best conditions and the best service. When we started the camp in 2012, the only thought was to give parents the opportunity to get quality, without having to cross seas and oceans and send their children away from home. That is why we call ourselves an analogue of English-language camps abroad. Creating an artificial English-speaking environment in a country where the main spoken language is Bulgarian is not at all easy. That is why we relied on the professionalism of our employees both from the team of the camp and from the team of Lucky Bansko Hotel. The children’s daily life is entirely in English and this is one of the most important conditions for us to be pioneers in this field. Five-star accommodation There are very few camps that are located in a five-star hotel in the world at all. We receive full and quality service for the children who are in the hotel and use all the amenities such as: Daily room cleaning Dining in the hotel restaurant Use of licensed transport Reception service Use of all rooms in the hotel that are useful for the camp Native English teachers – all our teachers are: with many years of experience in teaching children improve their skills every year strive to give the best of themselves The fact that our teachers have been working in the camp for more than 5 years only proves our perseverance and our efforts in the camp to have continuity. From 5 to 14 years always with us – a large percentage of campers grow up with us. Once the camp starts, they return each year to continue (and sometimes come 2 or 3 times a season). Continuity between children is also evident. Children’s safety comes first – we meet requirements that have not even come into force yet. constant video surveillance safe rooms security accompaniment by adults everywhere mandatory presence of professional instructors mandatory presence of a rescuer transport meeting all requirements They are just some of the things we do for the children entrusted to us. Careful selection of activities All activities outside the hotel. Each place visited by children is pre-approved by our guide and our medical team. Every day we take into account the capricious weather in the mountains and make sure that children do not visit places that may be dangerous for them due to worsened weather forecast or traffic conditions. In bad weather, we always consult the Mountain Rescue Service before setting off. In addition, the activities are selected to be interesting and fun for the children. Food – in Lucky Kids International Camp we meet all the requirements for feeding children, even a little on top. Whether they are at a buffet or on a set menu, our children are always fed. And when a parent warns us that a child has a feeding problem, we try to help. Preliminary information about allergies, intolerance, special diet, exclusion of certain foods from the child’s menu, allows us to react on the spot and to comply individually with each of our kennels. At the same time, the camp team takes care to promote proper and healthy nutrition for the participants. It is not accepted to show whims and forms of rudeness during meals. One of our achievements over the years is motivating children to like spinach soup, for example. And yes – it happened. But not at any cost. The most important thing remains for the children to be fed and have enough energy to play in the camp. Round-the-clock care When the new campers come to us, the first thing we tell them is that we are like one big house and we all live in it together for a certain period of time. The camp team is available 24 hours a day and reacts in all situations. During the day the children are always with us, and at night we are always with them. It happened that we had: children with difficulty falling asleep children with fears children with health problems We are always by their side and available And they know where we are. They know who is sleeping in which room and can call from the landline or go to the animators ‘and teachers’ room to find us at any time of the night. Professional medical care The medical team of the camp is always available. Specialists in the field take care of us and provide round-the-clock care for the children. A medical person accompanies the campers everywhere when we are outside the hotel. First aid is entrusted to specialists. Educational program The program of the camp is unique and was created by the team of the camp (professional pedagogues) on the basis of the most current and most adequate for the activity world practices. A global theme unites each season, and sub-themes unite each shift. Each mini-theme is set to unite each of the educational levels, and a specific line is chosen from each group of children he presents. In an effort to keep children interested, we change topics every year. At the same time, we give freedom of choice to the children and they themselves choose the direction in which to present. Additional skills – in addition to English, each child who visits the camp learns a lot in other areas of life. nature ecology teamwork relations in society behavior in public places communication technical skills presentation … They are a small part of the areas in which the camp team works tirelessly. Flexible management We change for each group and each participant in the camp. We give every child the opportunity to feel like a worthy human being and to be accepted by everyone else. Follow clear moral principles and rules that apply to everyone Our rules are followed by all and are two-way. We do not have double standards Children and adults follow the same […]

3rd consecutive year at LuckyKids children’s camp
There is a difference between a child coming for the first, second and third consecutive year. Many of the children look forward to returning to camp and talk about it all the time. Many of the children who come for several years in a row express a desire to join the camp team after reaching the age of majority. Here we must mention the difference between the “third consecutive year” and the “third consecutive time” in the camp. We have children who come three times a season in the same year. This does not prevent them from coming every year. But children who come for three or more years are special to us. And as far as we know them – we are special to them. The camp is no longer an unfamiliar place, but an integral part of the summer vacation. When the child comes for the first year, he: learn the rules impressed by the program strives to make achievements is busy living on his own to make an impression For him the camp is rather something personal. Often in the first year the children adapt to the camp life in general and learn to live in a different society from the one they are used to being in. When the child comes for the second year in a row, he already feels calm, comfortable with the situation, confident that he can “cope”. In the second year, he manages to look around, to notice everyone else and to begin to experience emotions with them. The second year is also characterized by the child being able to build relationships with more members of the the camp team. While in the first year the children are often attached to a specific person on the team, in the second year they realize that even if the specific team member is not at work, they still feel comfortable because all teachers and animators treat each other equally. child care. In the third year, the children return not only for the fun and benefits for themselves, meeting new friends, but also for the camp team. The children who are with us for the third year are an integral part of life in These children do not bother to come alone, because they know the camp team well and feel completely comfortable. In most cases, however, the children have established contacts with each other and agree in advance in which shift to come to be together. Often these children are not from the same city or even from the same country. Regardless of their age, they behave as responsibly as if they were making the camp themselves. And it really is – they are involved in creating the content. Every child coming for the third year gets the status of an assistant-animator. Assistant animators help in all activities of the animators and besides having more rights, they also have more obligations. Each child joins as an assistant animator only voluntarily. If he does not want to – no one drives him by force. On the contrary – they themselves come to us and express a desire to do so. The system with assistant animators is a borrowed practice from boarding schools (boarding schools) abroad. The fact that they have more responsibilities gives the children confidence that they have grown up and deserved their place as such in the camp. The responsibilities of the assistant animators take into account the age and abilities of each of the children. For the little ones we have special activities such as: arranging and collecting art materials help with carrying water and toys in the mountains to hold the door when entering and leaving the group other small but very “responsible” obligations Children 11 and older can: to move independently in the hotel participate in the creation of games and themed evenings help children who come for the first time to adapt and orient themselves in the camp participate directly in the ongoing briefings Assistant animators are an integral part of camp life. From the position of children, like everyone else, they can share their own experiences and give a positive direction to other campers. At the same time, they continue to empathize and build on themselves. Although they are assistant animators, the children for the third year in a row do not have a special status. They follow the same rules and follow the instructions of the camp team as everyone else. But in most cases, it is not necessary to remind them what they are. In English classes, these campers are indispensable helpers. They are aware of the difference between the learning process in the camp and that in school. This makes them free, creative and very proactive. For the third year in a row, the children are proud to wear the emblem of the language camp. In the walks outside, they set an example to everyone else for behavior and attitude. For this they receive special badges that distinguish them from other children. For the third year in a row, the children are calm because they know life in the camp in detail. They do not bother to share with the other campers and with the camp team. This makes them extremely important for the process itself. They show the direction and unite even more the small family of an international camp Lucky Kids.

Can the child refuse to be present at the camp if he has already spent one day?
Each child comes voluntarily to LuckyKids International Language Camp, with the consent of their parents. When children are with us, we try to ensure their maximum comfort and safety. However, there are rare cases in which children fail to adapt. Then, together with the parents, a decision can be made to terminate the stay in the camp. Apart from the adaptation, there are other reasons for leaving the camp. Emergency family situation – a family tragedy that requires the return of the child, or the birth of a brother or sister. Change in family plans – interruption of the parents’ vacation, change of destination or sudden and spontaneous decision of the parents to leave. Leaving due to illness – it happens that the child becomes ill during the camp. In milder diseases it is not necessary to leave. But if the disease requires examination by a specialist, it is advisable for parents to take care of it. It often happens that the child is picked up and returned later. None of the children in the camp makes an independent decision, because all participants in the camp are minors and under the care of a parent or guardian. In order for a child to leave, parents must confirm that they wish to terminate their stay. In addition to the decision to terminate the stay, it is necessary for the parents to confirm the way in which the child will leave the camp. that his parents confirmed his identity in writing. In such situations, parents can also take advantage of the Individual Transfer service for an additional fee. The price policy of the camp gives the opportunity to return the remaining amount for the child’s stay, minus a food penalty. When we talk about the child’s refusal to participate in the camp, except in an emergency situation, it is rare for a child to be returned after the first day. Usually the first day is organizational and dedicated to getting to know each other, and the actual camp starts from the second. After a day or two there are rarely disappointed children. In most cases, the children are excited after this day and feel a great desire to stay until the end of the camp shift. Therefore, we often recommend that parents who are hesitant about their stay wait 2 or 3 days before making a final decision. When can a child decide to leave the camp on day 1? There are several reasons that can make a child hesitate to stay in camp and in most cases they can be solved with the appropriate attitude and prior preparation by the parent. Lack of camp readiness. Sometimes, in his desire to make the child more independent, the parent hurries to send him to camp. Despite our efforts, we have cases in which the child appears hesitantly at the front door. In these situations we recommend consulting the camp team long before the start of the desired shift. We will help and recommend how the parent should act. For the convenience of all parents, there is a suitable camp readiness test on the camp site, which can be completed and only then can the parent make a decision. Shock from the English-speaking environment. Children who are not informed that they will take part in English camp may not be able to overcome the shock of the collision with the new language environment. It is extremely important for the child to be aware that all communication in the camp is performed in English and respectively to be prepared that there may be difficulties. When this is explained in advance, the stress is reduced by half. Disagreement with the rules of the camp. The main rule that campers don’t like is that they can’t use mobile devices freely If children are not warned in advance, they are more likely to be upset. All campers, however, adapt to this rule in no more than 3 days. Any rule can be a problem if it is not explained in advance. Although the camp has few rules, they are strict and followed by all. Each rule is set in order to make life in the camp peaceful and productive for all participants. If children and parents have any concerns, they can discuss them with the camp team before choosing whether to participate. Whatever the reason, the camp team always consults the parents with the situation and helps make the final decision. None of the children is obliged to stay in the camp until the end. But if he wants to go through the whole adventure, it’s good to at least try. Most often children leave the camp because of grief for their loved ones. For the age of 5-7 years this is not a problem, because all children of this age are accompanied. The easiest way to overcome attachment to the family is at the age of 8-10. Then it is much harder for children to adapt. Whether they will visit our camp or someone else’s, we encourage parents to begin to adapt their children at this age. In this way, they will grow up more independent and responsible.

Reading, speaking and writing in English
Reading, speaking and writing in any language are the practical manifestations of three of the four main components of the language. Or these practical activities help to develop not only the basic knowledge of a language, but also its overall acquisition. To understand the practical activities, we must first get acquainted with the basic concepts. Each language is composed of four main components: phonology, semantics, grammar and pragmatics. The development of the four components takes place gradually and gradually from the earliest childhood, when the language is the mother tongue, or language. The development of language, in this case, becomes quite natural as the child grows – in parallel with his mental, psychological and emotional development. For this reason, the mother tongue cannot be replaced by any other language. percent. In multilingual circles it often happens that the main spoken language of the child is different from that of the mother (example: the mother and father are Bulgarians but live in the United Kingdom and have chosen their child to speak English, respectively communicate with him in English, and Bulgarian is used only in conversations with each other.The child absorbs English-speaking environment, communicates in sotsuma only in English and has only indirect access to the native language of his parents). In this case it is entirely up to the parent whether the child wants to develop several native languages at the same time (if the parents communicate with the child in Bulgarian in the case described above, then both English and Bulgarian will develop at almost similar levels). We at LuckyKids International Camp have always recommended a multilingual environment and the development of two or more languages from early childhood. But let’s look at the components of speech and their practical dimensions one by one: Phonology – studies the organization and use of sounds in natural languages. The phonological system of a language includes a description of the sounds and their characteristics, as well as the rules that determine how the sounds interact. Or it is the sound image of a language. Accordingly, the practical image of this component is speaking (listening, perception) or generally speaking – communication. When we place the child in a specific language environment, he begins to listen (perceive, absorb) the sound characteristics of the specific language, which develops the phonological aspect. When the child feels stable enough in his knowledge, he also begins to reproduce the sound language , copying / imitating / repeating what he heard. This is the reason why in LuckyKids International Camp we keep the teachers in their native language – English. In this way the children copy and reproduce according to a phonological model that is closest to the natural one. Often in school, teachers are people whose mother tongue is not English. They have been taught by teachers whose mother tongue is also not English or there is no continuity. In this case attending a 14-day course where you can communicate with native English speakers is essential for the adequate development of the phonological component. Semantics – this component deals with the meaning of words and individual parts of speech. What is the meaning of spoken words. The practical image of this component is listening / reading comprehension, with awareness of what information the combination of sounds carries. How do teachers and parents understand whether a child understands the content of a text (whether read or spoken in communication practice)? The best way is to invite the child to tell the content in their own words. Ideally, even when telling in their own words, the child will speak the language in which they have read the text again. The retelling is not used here to go into all the details, nor to emphasize the literary technique, but to check the extent to which the child manages to understand the content and, if necessary, to supplement his knowledge. . We at LuckyKids develop this component in the preparation of group, thematic projects. In this practice, children get acquainted with new information on a topic, which they first perceive, and subsequently, through conversations with the teacher, it leads to learning. with understanding. This develops not only the language, but also the very practice of reading comprehension, which is important for the acquisition not only of this language, but also of other languages, as well as for the acquisition of new material in each another area of life. Grammar – from Greek “art of letters”. Grammar gives the rules, the structure, the conditions, the framework of the language Every kingdom lives by rules and the language kingdom is no exception. Grammar has two main sections: morphology and syntax. Morphology deals with the structure of words, and syntax – with the structure of sentences. Here the practical dimension includes all three practices – writing, reading and speaking. The morphological aspect of grammar is emphasized in younger children, while the syntax is included at a later stage. One of the techniques of mastering these rules is: when the child speaks and constructs the sentence incorrectly (or pronounces an incorrect conjugation of a verb), the teacher does not correct it directly (which is a form of reproach), but repeats what the child says correctl, as if in affirmation of his thesis. In this way the child hears the correct structure and remembers it, without feeling discomfort. In this version, the rule is learned gradually and non-violently. A little more aggressive practice is memorization – by constantly rewriting the rules. We at LuckyKids do not use the latest practice. We set the rule (it is often heard in class, but not understood), then the children are placed in situations where they understand it and finally – to do it practice to remember it and use it routinely. Pragmatics – studies the ways in which the context influences the meaning; that is, “meaning in context and linguistic use.” While semantics emphasizes the literal meaning, pragmatics gives a different nuance — showing how in a different context, […]

Thank you for the amazing job!

I welcome the opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to Miss Yonnie and the entire team of LuckyKids Camp for the care, and individual approach to the kids. George is a very delicate child (even could be quite picky), and would not go to any place unless he feels comfortable. His wish to take part in the camp (over and over again), speaks out loud. I am impressed how you manage to combine the adequate discipline, order, and respect while giving the kids freedom to express themselves. Moreover, it is highly obvious how much you are enjoying working with them.

Thank you so much!

I am considering sending Raya again in the LuckyKids Camp as that experience for her was more than great, and also helped her get more confident in communicating in English. Furthermore, kids are thought how to be more independent and disciplined. Raya is fascinated by all teachers in the camp, and especially by her favourite teacher Miss Marina. She has quite much enjoyed the outdoor activities, the horse riding and mountain biking. Thank you so much for giving her such unforgettable memories, and see you next year!

We are certainly visiting you again next summer!

I would like to thank you for the wonderful organisation, and amazing experience that my daughter has had. My nanny also shared that she had been astonished by the way all the things had happened during the camp. We are certainly visiting you again next summer, God Bless!

This definitely was a good spent vacation!

Hello, I would like to express mine, and my husband`s sincere gratitude about the organisation, the discipline and the lovely moments our child has had during the camp.

Kalina is sending her warmest regards, and wants you to know that she misses you. We wish you a good, day and a great summer!
